I have just completed building the Raptor90 se kit and am unclear as to which way the engine starter extension rotates.
Is it clockwise or counter clockwise.
When you rotate the starter expension port by hand clockwise it moves quite freely as it says it is supposed to in the manual.
When you rotate the starter extension port counter clockwise it turns the engine piston over. Just unsure as to the correct rotation.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

it has a one way bearing, so it will only transfer power one way to the motor, the other way will simply spin. so, the way that turns the motor over is the only way to do it. So, given the one way is installed correctly, it will only turn the motor correctly.

On my R50, it is a drill in reverse, so counter clockwise looking down from top.
